A brief comment on the recent appearance of Eric Weinstein and Sean Carroll on Piers Morgan's show, and the fallout that followed afterwards. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiFY...

A group of astrophysicists just released a new data analysis that supports the idea that we live in a hole. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnCh...

A worker at a US government lab got bitten by a monkey carrying a deadly virus, and it turned out nobody knew what to do about it. Around the same time, someone from the same lab tried to smuggle outbreak samples into the country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KO9...

One popular answer to the Fermi Paradox is that advanced civilizations develop AI and simply lose interest in space travel. A researcher now argues that's backwards: AI, robots, and cheap probes make space exploration easier. Which means the paradox gets worse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-Mg...

Over the years, physicists have become increasingly enamored with “quantum weirdness,” the many strange features of quantum mechanics that are extremely hard to explain. In a new paper, a group of researchers have tried to cut through the weirdness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMXq...

A physicist built a mini-universe out of cold atoms and used it to test where time comes from. It made big headlines a few weeks ago, and I almost skipped it, as most "universe in a lab" stories are nonsense. But then I actually read the paper. Let's take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bce-...

Putin's former thesis advisor is convinced that oil never runs out, and Russia is now drilling 8 kilometres into the ground to prove him right. Is there really infinite oil down there, or is Russia about to end up with a very expensive hole? Let's take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBUK...

Everywhere, it turns out, is warming faster than the rest of the world. Every region, every country, all of them, faster than the rest. You may sense a slight problem with this. The headlines are real, the papers are real, and yet something doesn't add up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9cD...

In today's video I talk about some commonly misunderstood points in the double slit experiment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=npc6...

A federal judge in the US has allowed a whistleblower lawsuit to go forward, in which a former official of the National Institutes of Health accuses a Harvard professor of repurposing research grants and falsely claiming he had met his objectives. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxN2...

A group of physicists accidentally found a way to create antigravity www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKRM...

For over half a century, people taking the psychedelic drug DMT have reported meeting alien beings. Now a scientist says these aliens might be real, and that he has the mathematics to prove it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3px9...
